About the author
Danijel Dzino
14 books6 followersDr Dzino was born within the ancient borders of the Roman civitas Daesitiatum, in provinciaDalmatia. He completed his BA (Hons) (1997-2000), MA (2001) and PhD (2002-2005) in Classics at the University of Adelaide. He was a Visiting Research Fellow at the University of Adelaide (2006-2009) until moving to Macquarie University to start work on his ARC postdoctoral grant.
The research interests of Dr Dzino are focused on the region of ancient and early medieval Illyricum, which roughly corresponds with the western and central regions of the Balkan peninsula, the modern countries of Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Albania, Serbia and Slovenia, and the surrounding regions. His particular research passions are the issues related to the identity of the pre-Roman indigenous population (the so-called "Illyrians") and their identity-transformations in the Roman and post-Roman periods, but also modern perceptions of ancient and medieval past of this region. His other area of interest is the modern perception of those identities and their role in the construction of ethnic identities in post-Yugoslav spaces.
He is involved in different projects with scholars in Croatia, including an active collaboration with the Centre for Croatian Studies at Macquarie University, including co-editorship of the journal Croatian Studies Review.
Dr Dzino also participates in the Bribir Excavation Project together with Dr Victor Ghica. The excavations are conducted by Macquarie University at the site Bribirska glavica near Skradin in Croatia in partnership with the Museum of Croatian Archaeological Monuments (Muzej Hrvatskih arheoloskih spomenika), from Split and Sibenik City Museum.
